Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how EDGARScout collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and tools.

Information We Collect

EDGARScout collects minimal information necessary to operate the site and improve our tools.

Analytics

We use web analytics to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, which tools are used, approximate geographic region, and referring sources. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. We do not track users across other websites.

Search Queries

When you use our tools to search for companies, SIC codes, or SEC filings, your search queries are sent directly to SEC EDGAR APIs. EDGARScout does not log, store, or retain your search terms on our servers. Queries go directly from your browser to SEC.gov.

Advertising

We display display advertising to support the free operation of the site. Our advertising partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising through your browser's cookie settings or through industry opt-out tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool.

Cookies

EDGARScout uses minimal cookies: session storage for caching the company tickers list (to reduce repeated SEC API calls) and cookies placed by advertising partners. We do not use persistent tracking cookies for our own purposes. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; this may affect the performance of some tools.

Third-Party Services

Our tools connect to the following third-party services: SEC EDGAR APIs (data.sec.gov, efts.sec.gov, www.sec.gov) for financial filing data. We have no control over SEC's data collection practices. See the SEC Privacy Policy for details.

Data Security

EDGARScout does not collect or store sensitive personal or financial data. All connections to our site are encrypted via HTTPS. Our servers do not store user search histories or personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The current version will always be available at this URL. Significant changes will be noted on the site.

Disclaimer: Data sourced from SEC EDGAR public filings via the official EDGAR API (data.sec.gov). This tool is for informational purposes only and is not financial or investment advice. Always verify data directly on SEC.gov.
